As part of our learning about teeth and healthy eating, LKS2’s science investigation involved exploring the effects of certain foods on or dental health.

We set up an investigation where we would observe, over time, how coffee, vinegar, fizzy pop and water would affect our tooth enamel. We submerged raw eggs in each of these liquids (because the shell is similar to tooth enamel).

One egg was coated in toothpaste. We were looking to observe how well the toothpaste protects teeth, as well as the damage caused by the other liquids (other than water).

We can’t wait to see the disgusting results!
